Celebrating Earth Month!

Posted on April 05 2016

April is certainly an exciting time of year. Not only does it bring the hope of warmer weather, it’s also Earth Month. Here at Miik, we make conscious decisions to help our planet every day. But this month, these decisions and actions are even more important as we hope to raise awareness and inspire others to make changes to support the environment. Celebrated every year on April 22nd, Earth Day is the largest environmental event in the world. According to Earth Day Canada more than six million Canadians participate in Earth Day activities every year.

This year’s focus is on trees and growing and restoring our global forests. The various international Earth Day organizations will kick-off an ambitious campaign to plant 7.8 billion trees (one for every person in the world) by 2020 on Earth Day. The #Rooting4Trees campaign here in Canada is a commitment to plant 25,000 trees on Earth Day and then another 35 million trees over the next four years.

Not only do we plan on getting our hands dirty and planting a tree or two, we’re also making a pledge to donate to this worthy cause. During the week leading up to Earth Day, keep on eye on our social media as we’ll be posting a special photo. Any time that photo is shared, re-posted or re-tweeted on Facebook, Twitter or Instagramwe will donate $1 to Earth Day Canada.

We hope you’ll join us #Rooting4Trees!
